A champion on the race track, Numbered Account gained equally high acclaim as a broodmare. She produced two successful sire sons in Private Account and Polish Numbers and is also a major conduit for the Striking branch of the great La Troienne family.

An attractive, elegant bay mare typical of the progeny of her sire, Numbered Account was "a filly of imposing size and substance" according to Charles Hatton of the Daily Racing Form. Lengthy and leggy, she was generally correct although her knees were a little questionable. She possessed an excellent disposition and could not be faulted for gameness.

As a producer

Numbered Accountproduced 10named foals, of which sixstarted and five won. Her important foals are as follow:

Private Account (1976, by Damascus) won the 1980 Gulfstream Park Handicap (USA-I) and Widener Handicap (USA-I). He became an important sire, getting 61 stakes winners from 604 named foals.

Secret Asset (1977, by Graustark) never raced but is the dam of 1989 Gran Premio del Jockey Club e Coppa d'Oro (ITY-I) winner Assatis (by Topsider), 1989 Gordon Stakes (ENG-III) winner Warrshan (by Northern Dancer) and Grade II-placed English stakes winner Rakeen (by Northern Dancer), champion sire in India at least six times. Secret Asset is also the second dam of multiple Argentine Group III winner Hidebound and the third dam of European Group III winners Sea Lord, French Navy and Kolonel.

Confidentiality (1981, by Lyphard) is the dam of 1990 Jamaica Handicap (USA-II) winner Confidential Talk (by Damascus), who became a good sire in Argentina.

Polish Numbers (1987, by Danzig) was stakes-placed at 2 and became a good regional sire in Maryland.

Connections

Foaled in Kentucky, Numbered Account was bred and owned by Ogden Mills Phipps. She was trained by Roger Laurin. She spent her broodmare career at Claiborne Farm and was buried there after being found dead in her paddock in August 1996.
